At work, it is important to have friends. As disciples of Jesus, we go way beyond that. We are a part of the family of God. Our faith colleagues are our brothers and sisters.

The “Jesus Way” goal for our faith at work:  Jesus sets our focus. It is to “do the will of His Father in heaven”. When we do the will of God, we have a family at work. We align with the family of God at work.

• Matthew 12:46–50 — 46 While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. 47 Someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.” 48 But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! 50 “For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
• Galatians 6:10 — 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
• Ephesians 2:19 — 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,
• Ephesians 3:15 — 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

God can do anything: Here is the good news. God has chosen to adopt us into His family. He does not have to, but He has. As a result of the power of God, we have brothers and sisters. We are a family at work. We must act like it.
